A study to investigate the mechanistic effects of Dapagliflozin alone or in combination with balcinrenone, compared to balcinrenone and placebo on body fluid and electrolyte handling and energy metabolism in participants over 50 years of age with chronic kidney disease.

Natriuretic-ureothelic adaptation of body fluid homeostasis during SGLT-2 inhibition and/or mineralocorticoid receptor modulation in patients with chronic kidney disease. A 4-arm, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, Phase 2 study to investigate the mechanistic effects of dapagliflozin, dapagliflozin + balcinrenone, balcinrenone and placebo on body solute and water homeostasis and energy metabolism in male and female participants over 50 years of age with chronic kidney disease. - DapaBalci-Leap

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To show that treatment with balcinrenone preserves the beneficial dapagliflozin-driven increase in 24h renal glucose excretion;Secondary Objective: Topic 1 To demonstrate that the dapagliflozin-induced increase in urine solute concentration is not altered by balcinrenone Topic 2 To demonstrate that treatment with dapagliflozin, with or without balcinrenone reduces free-water clearance within 48h, and further urine concentration is observed after 4 weeks, increases the contribution of glucose to osmotic-diuretic volume formation, decreases the contribution of sodium and urea to osmotic-diuretic volume formation, does not change the contribution of potassium to osmotic-diuretic volume formation within 48h, and that this effect persists after 4 weeks and does not change body water content after 4 weeks. Topic 3 To demonstrate that patients treated with dapagliflozin alone or in combination with balcinrenone show increased plasma copeptin levels and show increased plasma glucagon and reduced plasma insulin levels within 48h and/or after 4 weeks.;Primary end point(s): Change from baseline in 24h urine glucose excretion at day 3 and day 28;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day 3 and day 28 (only day 28 for France)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Topic 1 • Change from baseline in urine osmolality at day 3 and day 28 Topic 2 • Change from baseline in free water clearance at day 3 and day 28 • Change from baseline in urine glucose fraction at day 3 and day 28 • Change from baseline in urine sodium fraction at day 3 and day 28 • Change from baseline in urine urea fraction at day 3 and day 28 • Change from baseline in urine potassium fraction at day 3 and day 28 • Change from baseline in muscle water content as measured at 7T MRI at day 28 Topic 3 • Change from baseline in copeptin levels at day 3 and day 28 • Change from baseline in plasma insulin/glucagon ratio at day 3 and day 28;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day 3 and day 28 (only day 28 for France including muscle water content)
